1) INTRODUCTION

============

Welcome to the Trumpet Winsock!

The Trumpet Winsock is a compact program that helps connect your computer

to the Internet. It allows programs (such as Netscape and Eudora) to talk to

other programs (such as a Web or Postoffice server... maybe in another

country) over the Internet.

When a Winsock application (such as Netscape or Eudora) needs to connect

to the Internet it will look for a Winsock on your computer. If it is

installed and configured correctly, then the Trumpet Winsock will start (and

automatically dial into your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Trumpet Winsock simplifies the process of connecting your computer to

the Internet. Although installing Trumpet Winsock may be a little

complicated, you only need to do it once.

To complement the Trumpet Winsock we have included several diagnostic Winsock

applications (Ping, Hop, Dig and TCP Meter). These applications are

documented in the Winsock's Help file.

2) DO NOT FORSAKE THE HELP FILE!

=============================

Trumpet Winsock Help contains lots of handy information about configuring the

Trumpet Winsock and contacting Trumpet Software. The Help file can be

accessed directly from Windows or by selecting Contents from the Help menu in

the Winsock.

3) INSTALLING THE TRUMPET WINSOCK FOR THE FIRST TIME

=================================================

If you are using the Trumpet Winsock to dial into an Internet Provider then

please work through the PPP CHECKLIST.

If you are not using a modem, and instead need to use the Winsock over a

network (such as Ethernet or Token Ring) then please work through the PACKET

DRIVER CHECKLIST.

These checklists are intended to help you install the Trumpet Winsock quickly

and easily. If you encounter any difficulties, make sure you've read through

the relevant sections of the Help file.

a) PPP CHECKLIST

------------------

STEP ONE - Collect information

If you are going to use the Trumpet Winsock over a dial up modem connection

(PPP) then the following details will be needed...

Account details (important)

Login phone number: 776-1255

Login username: (will be 8 characters with no periods or spaces.)

Login password:

PPP, then is PAP or CHAP used?: PPP

If so - PPP username:

PPP password:

IP address (if fixed):

DNS server:

Domain suffix: peanut.org

Server profile (if known)

Username prompt:

Password prompt:

Command prompt:

PPP command:

PPP response:

Scan for IP address:

Modem profile (if known)

Modem speed:

Comm port:

Use reset string:

Init string:

Dial string:

Hangup string:

STEP TWO - Using the Trumpet Winsock over PPP

The Trumpet Winsock's Help file contains a section on using the Trumpet

Winsock over PPP. As you read through it, check the sections...

[ ] Setting up the Winsock for PPP

[ ] Logging in for the first time

[ ] Try the sample login script

[ ] See if your ISP has a preconfigured script

[ ] Try logging in manually

[ ] Logging in manually

[ ] Configuring you profile

[ ] Example profiles

[ ] Configuring your login script

6) WHAT DOES THE INSTALLER DO?

===========================

i) The installer starts by searching for additional Winsocks and offers to

rename any that it finds (eg winsock.dll and wsock32.dll). In a 3.1

or 3.11 environment any wsock32.dll files will NOT be renamed to protect WIN32s

applications.

ii) Then the installer suggests a directory into which the Trumpet

Winsock and Winsock Applications will be installed.

To avoid multiple installations of the Trumpet Winsock, it searches for a

directory containing tcpman.exe and suggests that.

iii) If the directory you have okayed contains any setup files (ini files and

scripts), it will ask you if you would like to retain them.

iv) It then copies across only the files that have date stamps later than

those in the destination directory. This is to avoid reverting to an earlier

version accidentally.

If you wish to copy across all the files regardless, you will need to run the

installer again and select a new directory.

v) Program Items are created for each of the applications and utilities

installed.

vi) A modification to the path statement of your autoexec.bat file is

suggested. You may choose whether or not to save the new version of

autoexec.bat.

This modification allows other applications to "demand load" the Winsock.

This means that other applications can load up the Winsock they need it. For

example, the Newsreader when it sends and receives email.

vii) Finally, the machine is restarted if autoexec.bat has been modified.

8) HELP!!!!!
